What is the difference between a broadcast and a podcast?

Podcasts are formatted in an RSS file, and contain specific information. A broadcast is simply an audio recording. A broadcast can be included in a podcast, by including the audio file or broadcast in the enclosure field.

Some radio stations stream audio which means that they provide a broadcast over the Internet but it is not actually recorded. A file really needs to be recorded in order to be considered a traditional podcast.
